Summary

Remote work has revolutionized how companies operate, with browsers becoming a critical tool but also exposing businesses to significant cybersecurity risks.

Traditional browsers, designed primarily for convenience, are poorly equipped to monitor employee behavior and protect against such threats, leaving companies vulnerable without robust observability tools.
